Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either. However, life today has brought new problems.
One of the biggest problems is pollution. Water pollution makes our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and makes our drinking water dirty. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It’s bad for all the living things in the world. Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt(被子) over the city. This kind of quilt is called smog(烟).
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is poured away. They mustn’t blow( 吹) dirty smoke into the air. We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw them on the ground. We should go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car.
